Feeling Better

Conner and I went to the doctor last friday to follow-up on his Bronchiolitis. He hadn't wheezed or coughed the whole second week of an infection that is supposed to last 2 weeks. I was only concerned about him developing an ear infection, because he had some pretty fussy fits during that last week. It is so hard to take care of someone who can't tell you what is wrong. Luckily, his moodiness was not because of an ear infection. Who knows what it was? I am guessing constipation. Anyway, the doctor said he looked good and his lungs sounded just fine. The best part? He gained weight!!! Seven ounces in two weeks. After over a month of very little weight gain I was relieved to see that since his breathing was better he was able to pack on almost half a pound in a short time. Now I am trying to get him back on a regular rice cereal schedule and play a little catch up. He is not quite underweight, but almost. Hopefully he will continue to fill out that lean little body of his. He is a M-O-V-E-R! He is rolling around a lot and looks very close to crawling. Also, he is getting his first tooth. I can't see it yet, but I can feel it. Maybe that contributed to his fussiness. Like I said, it's hard to tell!



Our little Ham.


I absolutely love his hair in a mohawk. Who says boys aren't fun to get all cleaned up?


As this picture shows, he is developing a little bit of an attitude. He will get into moods where Cam and I can't leave the room or he fusses. He is also developing a little bit of that "don't put me down attitude."
We are ready for the summer at our house. Cam is done with school and that means
more time in the evening to be with us. I am looking forward to it. I can't believe the year is half over almost! Luckily it seems like time has slowed down and I am soaking in all of Conner's goodness at his current age. Can't wait to see what the rest of his first year will bring!

  2. It's the pits when the baby is sick, and it's even worse coming out of the sickness... they always seem to be so much fussier. Glad he's gaining weight and the summer is approaching, it's always great to have more of daddy around!
